2011 Ravens @ Steelers

in Pittsburgh tonight it's a heavy wage fight in the guise of a football game as the Baltimore Ravens get into the ring with the Steelers on Sunday Night Football [Applause] America time the stars shine under fight it's where [Music] Sunday night where are you [Music] it's a bag of shows [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Terrible Towels twirly for Heinz Field in Pittsburgh as Ray Lewis leeches Baltimore Ravens in the western Pennsylvania to take not try all the model and that Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night for now Michael is Cris Collinsworth Michele Tafoya welcome to the NFL's version of a back-alley bra so many memorable games in this series and we're set up for another one tonight Ravens come in 5 and 2 on opening day they meet Pittsburgh in Baltimore 35 7 they pitched a perfect game but as usual it's all about defense again this season in Baltimore they have the number one defense in the National Football League but don't have that heinous school tonight because the Steelers are playing very well after that opening day shellacking in Baltimore they won six of their next seven so they come in with a mark of six and two they have the number two defense in the league and Ben Roethlisberger and a word has been outstanding as far as this rivalry this intense rivalry is the circus we asked Mike Tomlin to sum it up the other day he said I know one thing both training rooms on Monday or a mess that's one way to put it the only thing to make this game better is if these two defenses got a chance to play against each other out there but in this era of quarterbacks throwing the ball 50 times the game and for over 400 yards this game just feels different it's about fight it's about toughness and it has become my favorite game of the year and then ironically each of these quarterbacks 350 times last week and they won their games now as far as the matchup is concerned it doesn't figure a team's gonna win this game by 28 points so what do you see happening here tonight well Ben Roethlisberger you hit on it's really been playing about as well as anybody in the National Football League just named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month and yet when you go back to that opening day game I thought Joe Flacco played perhaps the best game of his career and if the Ravens are gonna come out error with a win he's gonna have to match that game he did indeed this is a game that sells itself it's the Ravens it's the Steelers enough said

[Music] the title for a film about this series my complan in his fifth season as the Steelers head coach has been the two Super Bowls already moments ago spoke with Michele Tafoya coach of counterpart John Harbaugh say we gotta go to a dark place to get ready for this rivalry how would you describe what it's like to participate in this game well for us it just has to be fundamental we acknowledge that emotions it would be a big part of this thing we got to do what we normally do get a good ordinary things we've done extremely well we were really disappointed in your team's week one performance at Baltimore you said it'd be a long time before you got rid of that stench what's got to happen tonight to beat Baltimore we got to take care of the football I think that just the defense's distinguish yourself by creating splash plays and scoring we can't let that happen we got to get a few of our own coach thank you thank you upon the injury front a mixed bag for the Steelers linebackers Lamar Woodley and James Farrior are out but they get James Harrison back wide receiver Hines Ward returns he will play on a sprained right ankle but he'll be limited as for the Ravens left Clark Ben Grubbs returns hasn't played since week one start Thank You Michelle as you look at John Harbaugh in his fourth season as the coach of the Ravens his brother the rookie head coach of the San Francisco 49ers wall again today big surprises of the our bond has taken his team to the playoffs in each of his three seasons Pittsburgh won the toss and deferred so the lower defenses wrong squeezing changing the yardage need to bring it back and 23 yard line and that is where Joe Flacco will shut up shot his even though he doesn't say that he necessarily ranks at number one in week one probably the best game he's played three touchdowns no interceptions there or his numbers in his career in seven regular season games three and four against the students and he's faced him twice in postseason as well with the Steelers winning both of those games from the 24 on first down and they start on the ground they give the ball all right you see we cut seeker can race off to the races as he was in Game one for the moment there's a flag down at the line of scrimmage for the moment rice has gone into the endzone but the way the Ravens are reacting and rice to the Wasilla running he lost the way that he looks back and sees that flag because that's gonna indicate a 76 yard that is Tory Smith the wide receiver with the whole young phenom not even at the point of attack here this goes down against William Gay and it grabs the outside of the shoulder pads there Wow I'd say we were watching to see whether or not Marshall yonder was going to cut Casey Hampton on the very first play that was such a big part of the first story but he did not but definitely Casey Hampton was going backwards on that play and in part created that whole here's the hold one more time let's take a look well game was in a position to make the tackle so it's easy to say the cost for the 76 yarder but makes you stop after the date of that's a play that doesn't get call all working Williams comes in because our wedding he's a breather after that 76 yard scamper Pole Amato makes the tackle Ricky Williams the Heisman Trophy winner at Texas a dozen years ago to back up to rice Troy Polamalu was making an early statement on that one coming off the edge basically circling all the way around and making the tackle when you the games get big [Applause] seven the full-back is weeds it's a big hole over the right side and that'll set up a third and two as we take a look at the Raven offense Joe Flacco University of Goa Ray Rice Rutgers University Vontae League East Carolina bank wombo and forward State University so yeah yeah ed Dixon Oregon Ducks Ron McKenna network Ravens rubbish back at the top for the first time since she welcome there Rocko out of this four-man rush on a short pass to the outside that's going to get the first down as Ricky Williams takes the ball to the 43 yard line knocked that by Jason world's first now well so many times when the Steelers are playing the Ravens it's Ray Rice coming out of the backfield as a receiver that makes such a difference Ricky Williams one playing that role there and here's James Harris and his first rush back from looks like a so that one give it to regular Stine sampling over the left side to fulla model knifing through to make the tackle same thing again Troy Polamalu gonna come around the edge this is the kind of speed this guy has to hit the play from all the way on the backside little help from Jason Walsh as well but some early play action may be an order if that's the way Polamalu Rimmer's second date Rocco has not as much as he has all the fancy we push talking about what for tomorrow maybe we'll see more of it not here as it's a shame too it's taken down in the open field by Larry the Steeler defense regular lizard Casey Hampton Texas break you see dribble high school go buffs Jason whirls much power defense Larry Foote Michigan Marston's Florida State tensions in Kingston will you get more Troy Polamalu University of Southern California LSU is where Universal good job this year third down and six [Applause] under pressure and then it's caught it's caught by Dennis Pitta one of the two tight ends Bennet and Dixon a life Flacco loves to go to both of them that's a 23-yard game just before he got hit in the first down great job by Flacco here they're gonna bring all the pressure around this way and Flacco is going to retreat just a bit and buy a little bit of time and these two tight ends for the Ravens now starting to have a big impact on this organization they are moving towards those guys playing together more black the latter that would be like a pistol formation here but short snap and here's what Williams to the 28 yard line taken down there by Timmons so Flacco comes out of Delaware originally what do school in Pittsburgh and then left here and wound up at Delaware got drafted in the first round and was the starter for the Ravens right from the get-go has the third longest consecutive game streak going right now terms of consecutive starts behind me one Philip Rivers second down and seven all athletes and the pass is incomplete Antwon Bolden covered on the play by Taylor yet Harrison among others racing in to put the heat on it's third down and seven Lawrence Timmons back in at middle linebacker now he's going to come on to blitz and watch Ricky Williams right here pick it up for Joe Flacco that's going to be key he's going to take some shots as he's thrown the ball Knight and Ike Taylor you were talking about a mouth successful last third down and seven opening drive of the game pink clay [Applause] then just you get it off in the passes caught on a slant by Bouldin coming off a huge day in that went last week against Arizona erasing a 21-point deficit tackled by Taylor another third down through version and a 15-yard gain for a first not many guys tougher than Anquan Boldin to try and get a jam at the line of scrimmage that time able to get inside of Ike Taylor to pick up the big first down I'd say it was Antwon Bolden who took this team on his back last week they were down bring bottom all the way we've seen all year partner and then the pain is fought out of bounds by Cory Smith flag on the play William game with the coverage the flag is down at the goal line while Coleman is the referee so you had contact receiver defensive back and the call goes against [Applause] okay against gay a lot of pushing who's shoving in its first and goal at the one yeah you'll see William gay extend both hands and get them in there early tough call but I think the right call and for the Ravens they had three pass interference calls last week in that game to put them on the one-yard line and here they go they start this game the exact same way it's amazing Ravens going against the league's second ranked offense fake to rice Flacco almost as a pickoff danger is past in the end zone Ryan Clark came over and knocked it away second down and goal not only was it ill-advised it was poorly thrown Flacco comes out and I think okay he's going to lead him out over the in line he throws it behind everybody he even threw it behind Ryan Clark almost a monument mistake on first down [Applause] nice looking it's stone war going through the number line setting up a third down the door well to the toughest guys Troy Polamalu and Larry Foote are both going to hit the same hole at the same time [Applause] of the drive six passes 6-1 [Music] those legs going and doesn't get it he stopped short so now if your hardball you've got less than you are to go racing such a touchdown yeah for progress now watch the entirety of this play rice is going to get stopped no question apparently they blow the whistle here but as he continues to fight and Vontae lead comes up and pushes him he is actually going to get in the end zone but I think the officials are going to say we blew the whistle there so it doesn't matter what happened after that wasn't a scoring place I'm not reviewing upstairs they could have challenged it probably Washington meanwhile they're going to go for a field goal [Applause] inside the water and Baltimore Sunday night football for Pittsburgh being brought to you by Southwest Airlines to find our fares online only at southwest.com by Hyundai fuel efficient and stylish it's probably a fun day by Bud Light official beer sponsor of the NFL here we go and by McDonald's I'm lovin it Three Rivers the Allegheny Monongahela and the Ohio Pittsburgh PA beautiful day beautiful weekend temperatures today upper me low 60s 48 at game time the Ravens Cundiff it's good news bad news two-thirds of his kicks are touchbacks but when they run him back the Ravens are giving up 35 yards for a return which is awful [Applause] tonio Brown and this time the coverage is pretty good is trying brings it out to the 23 yard line to Big Ben and the Steeler offense ben roethlisberger look at those numbers last week against New England 50 attempts completed 36 had a huge day beat the Patriots he said I couldn't believe when I got the game plan I thought they were kidding on Tuesday but that's what they did they came out gang built up an early lead and won the game from the 23 on first down they started the ground with Megan up to the take another look at Ray Rice on that third and goal way and listen to the whistle when the whistle sounds [Applause] and there anymore so it's before he reaches that go on now if you want to challenge it you could if you're Harbaugh but keep in mind Tube audio doesn't play a part in it they only look at the pictures they don't listen for any wishes and would have lost the challenge anyway second down and one from the 31 yard line and walk this burger off the play fake extend in a play as you dish so brilliantly and all of us has it intercepted by Bernard Pollard a little floater and he couldn't hang on it'll be third down and one it's kind of one of those triple pump fakers from pit and Roethlisberger and then he tried a little finesse e1 over the new safety for North Pollard there's really no more is a big hitter if it almost came up with a huge interception on this one so we maybe have some quarterbacks out here with a little case of the nerves we saw Joe Flacco with an ill advised pass and then been returned the favor and that makes it third down and one so after the mend Whitman or Borg right now [Applause] and he's going to get tackled by the Darius Webb the corner so they start out with a nine-yard gain on first down and in comes the punting group they've lost Daniel Sepulveda their punter he's on injured reserve again and they resigned Jeremy Kappa knows who comes in what a play by ladarius Webb off the block of Mike Wallace gets in the backfield not only makes the tackle but doesn't allow him to move him forward that's a much bigger man than what ladarius Webb is this tone has been said news Kappa knows who kicked for them last year at the end of the year the sapota was hurt and it's a line drive kick and that's Webb we'll just made that last offensive play bringing it back to the 32 yard line so the Ravens get the football back leaving Pittsburgh three nothing here's the website at the top you can check out SNF extra Michelle from the sidelines you can even direct the game yourself I know - I shook off and you know dressed though they even fool around with your own camera angles anyway SNF extra at NBC sports.com so now the Ravens from the 32 yard line after they opted to go through a field goal on a 4th and goal from inside the wall on the wall with the 32 yard line and they give it to rice you push me you look at that decision that's the kind of thing down the line you'll think back well maybe that will be a very big decision to go for the three instead of going for the touchdown you just wonder if John Harbaugh may have gone for it against any other team in any other Stadium but they all spoke of how important they felt it was to play with the lead and they played with the lead the last time they played the Steelers Mike yes he just wanted to spray so we get the three at second down and six looking down the six minutes left in the field stop the 35 you look at these two teams and the opening day game 35 seven in that game the Steelers turned the ball over seven times OKC Hampton on the nose tackle here is trying to get penetration up the field against that stretch play but you can tell he is cognizant of those guys coming down around in the first game someone telling us that just because it was the [Applause] before a third and seventh 3-nothing Raven [Music] this week coming season and river to quad lecture with Jay Leno which lights on momenta bridge [Applause] it's seven after the time [Applause] great frequency good protection pants court over the dennis pitta picking up the first down so flap notation why protects them well and it's a first down for the Ravens nice play that time by Ben Grubbs right here is going to slide over and pick up James Harrison coming on that blitz and that allowed Joe Flacco a rare opportunity to just sit in the pocket and find somebody open for the first down Flacco five out of seven for 59 yards loves to go to his tight ends and over 60% of his passes to those guys as Williams takes it out to the 44 Ricky brought of war to really just to give Ray Rice a blow from time to time came in on the first series and there's rice on the sidelines again Williams has set up a second and eight he's already carried four times tonight for 13 yards I think James Harrison is back watch him come off the edge here he could keep that piece of tennis pin up and just come off and make the play I had some doubt [Applause] guys playing Vulcan orbital Doyle leaves and that pass is incomplete intended for the sweet Cory Smith covered by gay Smith the rookie and Smith will recall against st. Louis week 3 the first week passes he caught in his career all went for touchdowns let's see if gay gets away with a hold here right there it grabs the Jersey slowed him down just enough a ball that still should have and could have been caught but the official simply did not see the hold on that one Joe Flacco board for the nine for 59 euros and this time adjusting and making the catch is Tory spent pass a little underthrown he came back for the line of scrimmage and makes the catch of the 28 yard line got inside in position on Keenan Lewis for a gain of 29 Keenan Lewis is the nickel guy here and once Troy Polamalu shifted over to the middle of the field Joe Flacco just threw that one up and I think intentionally under threw that ball and allowed Torrey Smith to come back to make the play now they picked up the pace get to the line of scrimmage rights around the left side gets planted by Lawrence Timmons and Larry Foote loss of one Lawrence Timmons is a guy that is taking on a unique role on this defense an inside linebacker for Dick LeBeau who's had to play outside linebacker because of all the injuries they were excited to get James Harrison back but then they lost Lamar Woodley so the shuffle continues at the position [Applause] there's marshal yonder the second down to ten pump fake and in Hawaii right judges lay inside the 25 spotted at the 22 setting up a third down and five inside three minutes to play in the opening frame we talked about the fact that they're cutting Casey Hampton a lot want to emphasize that is not an illegal play an adjacent lineman is allowed to go and cut the guy next to him it's a point of frustration however for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Casey Hampton one that was much talked about after that first game camp it out on the third and five Ravens have converted five of six third down he's already [Applause] which again passed to me please William Gay got a hand on it and it's fourth down and Cundiff will come in to try to make it six to nothing they're working against William Gay inside with these tight ends here's Edie Dixon and you would think that's a bit of a mismatch but Dixon was a wide receiver in college and a lot like the New England Patriots we're seeing this Ravens team go to more and more the two tight end set that they can run from or spread it out and make the roads 40-yard attempt as you saw a 32 in a row from inside 50 of course the minute you put up something like that it's the kibosh the debauch strikes boy nothing but you see those numbers 22 plays to three it's been all Baltimore on offense and yet it's only three nothing and after the missed field goal Pittsburgh begins this Drive the pontifical at 32 straight from inside 15 mrs. long he'll hear land in Pittsburgh they go with three tight ends here on first down from the 30-yard line protecting the post he caught six passes against the England in the first quarter last week he had an appetizer an entree and dessert on the first 15 minutes early play action we talked about it both the strong safety Bernard Pollard and the inside linebacker Jamil McClain came up on the play fake and Ben was able to hit it over the top and then in the half left in the quarter after a gain of 15 [Music] [Applause] and then he's gonna pack it in takes it to the 48 let's take a look at the stealer offense Ben Roethlisberger's Miami University Rashard Mendenhall Illinois David Johnson Arkansas State my wise old parrot Walter high school Antonio Brown Central Michigan Keith Miller Virginia Mac Stars Florida Gators Christine went out to Utah marquise pounces Florida Ramon foster Tennessee Marcus Gilbert universal floor slab every time I see that Mike Wallace hairstyle classic we just wish we could do it yeah we don't look good we don't look good second down and eight Roethlisberger - stop him - the 21-yard ben roethlisberger so good to the back row normally eight of 32 antonio brown just got lost in the wash early down bootlegged away and just one of those plays where you sneak somebody out the backside and the Ravens just dropped the ball on that one so now we're starting to see been in this offense that's been playing so well of late starting to loosen up a bit for 49 yards and that's going to take us to the end of the quarter before the snap end of the first 15 minutes in Pittsburgh it is Baltimore three Pittsburgh nothing at NBC Sunday Night Football after these messages beautiful shot downtown Pittsburgh aerial coverage tonight being brought to you by Geico Pittsburgh PA on this Sunday night mr. Starr Wentworth and Michele Tafoya Hines Ward active tonight inactive last week that limited third down and special situation on the sideline right now as we start the second quarter and walk this burger nice to get it away and then Cylons a commendable and he gets taken down at the 18-yard line let's take a look at that Baltimore defense no one in the league hooking up huh or tennis Cody album gory reading University of Texas Jack Johnson Alabama Ray Lewis universal mind Jamel McClain stearic use University consistently ball so hard University the Darius will Nicolas State University Bernard parlour be Boilermakers Italy the UK Williams Washburn Suggs I bet those Arizona State guys second down and seven the ball at the 18 yard line sizzles raucous gorgeous drawing and up cashes in down at seven the first things you have to do is get subs blocked on the outside one of the top tight ends in the game Heath Miller handles that part of it and now is this interference you get the right is there a turn those things written 37 have got award in the stacking receivers on both sides of Redmond in the backfield and walkers were the throws of it's very close to a first-time when the ball comes out and they say no they're going to say that it came out and roll or hit the ground hit there by Ray Lewis these two guys are facing each other for the 23rd time in regular-season competition and Ward is now hurt well here we go already here's Hines Ward who is defined so many of these matchups with big hits you think of the one against Edie Reed a few years ago and now here's Ray Lewis returning the favor is it helmet-to-helmet contact that'll be one thing they'll look at because this is a defenseless receiver at that point and so Ward nearing the end of his career and he's aware of that obviously is they're making the transition and now has to obviously come out of the game here after making the catch a little bit short of the first that blew the whistle so there's no fumble and the shaky Ward comes out there also - one of they were merging receivers tonight Emmanuel Sanders whose mother died last week and he went back to Texas he is back in town tonight but not in uniform so now Ward has to come up and Sanders is inactive tonight ray is gonna come up no question helmet-to-helmet and that's what did the damage there the ball came out afterwards and now a big decision time as well we've got fourth down and a yard so now Tomlin deciding to go for it in this situation and hardball decided to pass earlier at least to line up to go for logistic trying to arm offside watching the Steelers for the years now that veins going to take a look wanting to see what that defense would look like and then the Ravens are also going to challenge the reception so before he could even call a timeout if that's what he wanted to do Harbaugh may want to challenge whether it was a catch and here's wall Coleman Baltimore is challenging the ruling on the field of a completing catch so Coleman will check it out after Lewis shuts out Ward so Harbaugh has challenged we think that the play is going to stand that Wharton was down had control hit the ground whistle sounds take another look here remember you're making the catch contact in the process of going to the ground so you have to maintain control all the way to the ground there it is now did the hip of Pollard pause that ball to come out here's the real-time and a lot of times officials will use this and from that angle you could make the argument he didn't complete the process of the catch this the angle from the other way made it look like he did and then Pollard's him knocked it out late so interesting challenged by John Harvey being the play the receiver did not maintain possession going to the ground Baltimore cannot be charged the timeout not closing it went the other way we thought it would stay in a bar wall went to the challenge and that will set up a field goal attempt and remember officials will use this sort of real-time view of it as well as all the slow motion as well and then that may have been the defining look so it would have been fourth and one they were lining up to go for that Shawn squeeze him in the second season with the team he's been around in a lot of places through the years and Jeremy Kappa knows is the folder remembered Sepulveda the kicker or the punter now on injured reserve Kappa knows did hold last year he's been around he's held in Green Bay and here last year even in the Super Bowl and now they're going to go over where the ball was and all of the rest which was the 18 yard line which is going to set up about a 36-yard field goal attempt or make sure they've hit the time on the clock right yard line is correct that's all taken care of kapnos will hold now for SWE's him a 36 yard attempt to tie the game the snapper is Greg Warren giving the open end of the field and this one is good so a minute into the second quarter we're tied at 3 in Pittsburgh tomorrow night week to Brian Williams hosting a lock centers at Eastern and Pacific night settle about Tina Fey stop by reply that's tomorrow night Roxanne O'Brien steel versus mm it's reason to kick off read [Applause] straight up the middle Dex by reason of all his moves we cover the ball at the 41 McFadden on the tackle and the Ravens are able to come up with the ball Levante leash saving the moment serene with a good run back all the way through the level as McFadden dislodging it then leach is there to keep the ball for Laredo there's squeezing some credit though he slowed him down just enough to allow the posse to get there of course we can black go off the play fake throws at a pass incomplete trying to get a kill it Nixon who had sprung free second down and ten now we've talked about James Harrison's return and what it means to the Pittsburgh Steelers sort of right on time for this defense on the outside the other really key matchup is Ike Taylor going against Anquan Boldin pretty good coverage on that one James Harrison just brings a different feel to the game we do with that [Applause] that pass by the weather Smith incomplete third down and ten for the Ravens you know this is an interesting Ravens offense right now because they're sort of stuck between two offenses as we speak they've got the full-back Vontae leach and Ray Rice and sort of the power running game that's been successful but lately especially last week Joe Flacco [Applause] the two a little bit see the Feast of famine they've been awful in there too five wins twenty-nine very tentative the pressure in clothes let's pluck on the Quan Williams a rookie from Maryland as his Torrey Smith and a first out on a third and 15 now one of the things that happens when Ray Rice comes out of the backfield you end up with a guy like Troy Polamalu who has to pay so much attention to him the underneath coverage on that zone just wasn't there James Harrison working the stunt inside and there's Ben Grubbs who is a welcome addition back on his offensive line andre Jerrod did a good job that no work [Music] tonight on third down the most part here is rice for a gain of one the Steelers when you take a look at this team that defense number two in the league the only three takeaways in half a season that's the fewest by any team in NFL history to impede games it's amazing there - ten on the gift take table of course there - settled on opening day against Baltimore and we three takeaways all year then a team of the mark of 62 second down and nine right one thing we should frame with this game if Pittsburgh wins they would go to seven and two they'd be all alone in first place if Baltimore wins they go to six and two they've already had their Buy and they would be tied with the Cincinnati Bengals it's amazing and for the Cincinnati they catch Pittsburgh next week and of course Pittsburgh coming off with this game and the game against New England [Applause] so not bad timing for the Bengals so funny as you look at Pittsburgh schedules and well they've done with Baltimore they early November then they get Cincinnati twice all of a sudden it's a different Cincinnati third your parents that's the flag and in effect the free playing Pitta makes the catch and a first down that is a big one so you want the plays about the distance of the penalty number 92 defense app Italy's decline play results in a first down get a five-yard penalty in a first down or maybe a five and a half yard gain in the first down that's when the quarterback says I'll take the stat thank you very much you're rocking and the tight end goes to as good it makes his third catch of the game you see the field pretty chewed up they played a college game here last night is with the University of Pittsburgh plays and they played the Cincinnati Bearcats and lost to them and there you go and Williams that's taken down by pancake at the line of scrimmage - guys the University of Texas one of the things that Casey Hamptons wants to do on this stretch play is to get penetration back this way does it perfectly right here no way for Matt Burke to get there and that play never had a chance once again Troy Polamalu coming around the [Music] [Applause] second and 11 second-quarter rice back in [Music] and they send it out to their it's the 25-yard line 3 was Steelers to that side Ziggy hood the defensive end out there to make the tackle setting up a third and 2 Joe Flacco is going to remember this blitz remember last year al and it was Troy Polamalu coming off the edge got the strip fumble that turned that game away and in favor of the Pittsburgh Steelers a lot of room on the outside you have to get rid of the ball quickly and Flacco is definitely quick with his pace than what he was [Applause] right scratch to cut it back and gets taken down heresy makes the initial contact and it will be fourth down why I tell you why James Harrison is just too much over on that side of the ball he is bolting inside of Brian McKinney here and making these plays in the backfield actually on that play that was John Reid he was at idea English one from 43 yards puts it down and this time Kunduz kick is good so he is two out of three that's the difference in the game at the moment six to three or more Ravens all about defense going back to 2000 at 4-4 Paulo de nada there are the numbers for week 1 against the other sons with three sacks Luis a pick and a forced fumble we'd had two interceptions his only two of the season but the core for Lewisohn reads for sure go to the Hall of Fame sub probably and not not as only in his sixth season but there's certainly a great start to his career goes through the endzone fund of two-thirds of his kickoffs our touchbacks that defense they're ranking number one in total yards allowed 263 lowest in the league and in points they are second and the Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said that his top goal against this team has not let their defense scorer Chuck Pagano has done a tremendous job Ray Lewis describes him as just one of the guys that when we get loud he gets loud allows this defense a lot of input he was doing for his days when McDonald was an assistant at the University of Miami's one that's Cory ready when we emerging young players along that defensive front for the Ravens I'd say what this is not a good matchup right here David Johnson a tight end against Cory Redding watch him shed that block and hit Rashard Mendenhall Mendenhall averages about a yard less per carry against this Ravens defense and he does against the rest of the league and that hit a little reminiscent of the one that Ray Lewis could on him to break his collarbone second down and nine there's a very short game for Miller he gets taken down by Jerry Johnson Johnson in his ninth year in the in the league and he engaging guy we talked to him last night asked him about you know playing on a team with nothing but superstars defensively you get lost in the shuffle he said book as long as my peers understand what I am good enough for me what he is is a crazy man when you watch him play the whistle is only part of the equation he goes to the echo the whistle on every play 36 it's on walk this burger hangs in the pocket of over the [Music] then hang it right in that pocket with all of the frenzy around of it it's 20 yard game well the good news is if you get the Blitz block you get single coverage on the outside and I tell you this Antonio Brown has come out of nowhere here lately he is 16 catches I think over the past couple of games and he has just been one of those guys that has emerged the kick returner a guy that is used to playing in the open field that's absolutely no fear 36 catches on the year second Lolita Wallace who's yet to catch a ball tonight he goes for Wallace and the pass is incomplete broken up there by Carrie Williams checking on the show well there is no official word from the Steelers yet on Hines Ward but I can tell you since taking that big hit on their last Drive he has been on the sidelines no where is his helmet and usually that's an indicator when a guy's not holding his helmet that he's probably not coming back in he's talked with trainers he's watching the game intently but no helmet also Arnez battle is questionable with the hamstrings so they are at thin at wide receiver L you'd back Michelle we mentioned before that - Emmanuel Sanders who had to attend to his mother's death and funeral and just got back into town but inactive tonight now Ward done probably and it's second down and ten in a waffles Berger sensing the pressure extending the president they're seemingly so in the past incomplete Antonio Brown and Miller will bolt in the same area you know Chuck Pagano told his defensive backs this starts our coverage starts after three seconds because Ben Roethlisberger is going to do this he's going to buy time don't think because you covered somebody for three for five seconds that that's going to be enough Roethlisberger scanning the entire field probably none better at just buying time down the field and actually the two receivers knock each other off the ball Roethlisberger doing it for eight years and takes a timeout here before third and ten seven million to go in the opening hand with the Ravens leading by three you're gonna get some different looks out of the Ravens on defense this time they line up look at this up here there's a lot of money on that side of the field marquise Pouncy is going to go where that one two three bins gonna say now that's the nah let's go time I know we've seen a lot of football I don't think I've ever seen that formation defensively you know and the weird thing about that formation and here it comes again now everybody's over on that side they'll drop the nose tackle back in coverage often run this look this time Lewis who had been one of the three on that side that drops back to a conventional position he still got suds over there and now you got a whistle before a third and ten I'll look at slugs these are said final timeout Baltimore 30-second timeout since 2000 the year that former won the Super Bowl these two teams can possibly first and second in points allowed first and second and yardage allowed rush yards allowed first and second sacks do this first well in that decade and would take the ways the Ravens would lead the dominant D's the difference the Steelers have won two Super Bowls in the Ravens one there's the difference has been the offense Ben Roethlisberger and the offense doing the job through the decade and of course this is the the hump team no doubt the hump team football the were to get by Pittsburgh has knocked them out of the playoffs three times in the decade and nothing stings this Baltimore Ravens defense more than that knowledge that gives him sort of the title of toughest team between these two and the Ravens don't like that this is their chance for a sweep this year third and ten [Applause] more conventional defensive would let the achiever take care of hand walk Barry was really coming along at corner the Raven corners playing pretty well of late knocking it away fourth down I tell ya how you really hit there right on the head here Kerry Williams up here is the guy that I think he had one start in his career before this year even the Steelers were like who is this guy that keeps making plays and in reality they're gonna go after the more veteran guy ladarius Webb on the other side and then again West make there be a staircase at the 20 and minor skirmish nothing this is like a preliminary bout this is the main event of Baltimore in Pittsburgh you know we were talking about the rivalry reminds me and we mentioned it on the pregame show it's like with New England in Indianapolis Chris through the early part of the decade Manning couldn't get by brainy the Colts couldn't get by the Patriots Patriots with three Super Bowls and then finally about the middle of the decade Indianapolis turns the corner they get by the Patriots they win a Super Bowl they get two another one this is the same thing with world in Pittsburgh okay [Applause] get over that hump from the 23-yard line back there to the outside that's dropped by Tory Smith well there's no doubt for all the plays that these young receivers can and will make they are still rookies and this is a single one-on-one coverage against the fastest guy on your team fits them right between the eight and the two and you drop it in a game like this you just simply cannot afford those kinds of plays guys in the building and every the war veteran last week secondly skits - convention full model and shoulders theme right there oh I'd say Avante leach then see as Paulo Malo dead to rights here lines them up Polamalu jumps around and makes the hit in the backfield that's really one of those plays is an offense you're just trying to stay out of so you don't throw the ball you run the ball and then Paul Moller makes a point like that anymore [Applause] tonight as it trying to do here third and ten [Applause] Jaakko extending the play before they finally played back at the 12 yard line that was James Harrison knocking into the ground and Flacco slow in getting up as heat goes off the field up or down yeah it's kind of interesting they're using Troy Polamalu now in coverage on these tight ends on the outside the Ravens have been throwing so much to Ed Dixon and Dennis Pitta on the outside they've made the decision to take him out of the safety position and put them in tight ends Sam cook we do the cutting Antonio Brown is dying the 47-yard boot from the 31 round down at the 39 [Music] you know he's still the original I mean Drew Brees has picked up a little bit of that of course through the past few years keep Brooking in Dallas but there's only one loss from the 39-yard that pass is incomplete into a lot of traffic intended for moe LD more on the subject of Lewis now in his sixteenth season closing in on a record most takeaways by a linebacker in history I would figure that's Baltimore in Pittsburgh again ray with 49 and he's four behind Jack ham so he said to Lewis last night arrey at the peak of your career if you were a hundred percent what are you now and he said probably 100 fold let's tell you what most of the time he looks like it second and ten with the ball at the 39 [Applause] Roethlisberger checks it down and underneath that's David Johnson 36 yard line the fourth back tight end edy Reed makes the tackle Roethlisberger again with a play extension and finds the man and they're just going to a little crossing route over the ball Capri comes in front of him but then he ends up coming back to the back side and Ben this is what he does and those pump fakes they don't look like much but they're deadly for his own defense they moved guys away from his receiver and that's what enables him to make those kinds of plays gain of 25 was a second down play first I'm Dave Koehler from England [Music] providing the convoy second down a - yeah we're talking about Ray Lewis and what people probably don't understand when they see how emotionally is he is the Peyton Manning of the defensive side of the ball this guy probably studies more tape than just about anybody in the league constantly in communication with his defensive coordinator but he and Ed Reed make more adjustments just before the snap the ball probably than any pair in the NFL second and a deuce [Applause] trying to back his way into a first down very close and appears to have it and one and up right there you know it's amazing as a running back sometimes in this game how good you feel about a 2-yard run you know I mean you are fighting for every inch of turf out here on this field obviously the score reflects that already but this is just one of those games that drop passes or a missed interception or a missed opportunity oftentimes the site and a lot of times it's decided by a defensive score homeland bringing in the change one link short mike Tomlinson alright our third and interest play here you know you got a love Tom when he is one of the most quotable guys in the league love the way he phrases things we asked him the other day we ever in high school debate team he said yep he said they didn't know whether to throw me off or make me captain but he does get you fired up doesn't he I mean he really does he's one of those guys that that makes you just sort of love the game of football when he's around he said about Troy Polamalu oh he says you know he really isn't from here he's just visiting when you watch him play you do get that feeling sometimes third and an inch make it singing it Isaac Redmond is the running back wants to do that big frame strong legs and very often he'll do that on third down and inches worth that in a shoes and pick up the first down Big Ben I tell you last week he looked more like Brady than Tom Brady did he that 35 or 36 completions in that game 31 of those 10 yards or less who only one pass more than 20 yards down the field when he's simply brilliant and knocking off the Patriots first down for the 24 over the middle hip and then it lines up as a completed patch of the eight yard line jamil McClane got his hand on stop jericho cotchery the former genocide in the bonus for making the cash jameelah claim we just talked about missed opportunities here was one this one should have been picked off by McLain goes right through his hands and how happy are the Pittsburgh Steelers with Jericho Khatri they basically describe him as Hines Ward six years ago especially tonight they worden out of the game and Sanders in Act [Applause] except humidity three ladarius web with the tacho is michelle hines ward at this point it is official they're calling it a stinger and saying he is questionable out well the same questionable but as you pointed out i think they took his helmet away so yeah well and the other thing remember the officials are now being asked to watch guys that have potential concussions on the field and they may have said that's enough giving a warning second and going we come back to Pittsburgh they are the halftime show approaching Mark Sanchez leaving the Jets to a win in Buffalo Aaron Rodgers another huge day in San Diego Bob we'll talk about that dramatic finish in Foxborough Super Bowl 42 reduct as the Giants take the Patriots second down and goal to the next to the half from the four [Applause] really protects Roethlisberger and then a lot of action at the goal line contrary the intended receiver in the past incomplete third down plenty of time there but it was drill sucks coming out on the inside stunts here that got the first shot against Ben Roethlisberger and that has to be the goal they can't let Ben just keep standing back there the way that he is and moving Vincent backs with his eyes and pump fakes third and goal [Applause] and then is going to get sacked at the 12-yard line full mooger for sacks last three games for him is in there and you get a little jabbing going on and it'll be fourth down well I'll tell you this Paul Kruger is really starting to make a difference he's coming off the edge working against the rookie Marcus Gilbert but this pass rush move has just been so effective for him lately I didn't put fourth sack in the last three games and when you can bring guys off the bench and the Ravens now with a lot of depth says Pernell McPhee getting some sacks Arthur Jones has been good but really Kruger has been the guy that's been the 30-yard field goal attempt by Shaun sneezin who's just inside the figure 6x for the minute to go in the half follow the National Football League while you're on the go the NFL's mobile apps with the 2011 season available at nfl.com / mobile little shot Pittsburgh Pennsylvania come out of a Fort Pitt tunnel from the airport spectacular site as the city just looms and frontier will light it up on this Sunday night there's healers and the Ravens and what's become like I think the best rivalry in the league at the moment six I thought you're gonna say like LSU Alabama that's about one pretty much the same type of game tape is filled it by we need at the 2-yard line with another good one back and we can drag down but not before he gets to the 35 yard line with this Allen made the tackle Sunday Night Football talk to you by Windows 7 a great time to be a family by Toyota by the new HTC Radar 4G available now at t-mobile and buy his knees the Muppets in theaters everywhere this Thanksgiving Ryan Clark visiting Pittsburgh's Shilov middle school for the at least 60 campaign urging children to be active for at least 60 minutes each day covered tonight but you see in there the best way to cover somebody's a knock him down [Applause] down at the 30-yard line and it's Harrison you know the number 92 is gonna get into the offensive backfield when James Harrison lines up in the middle of the field he can basically blitz from anywhere it creates big issues because when you get a light for Ray Rice on that one I was trying to pick him up and just got run over second and 15 this launch flag torque working the receiver egg Dixon as a flag comes in back judge week in the poll the explanation personal foul any other era this is called a great football play in this era you make helmet-to-helmet contact let's see there that is a penalty that [Applause] I'm not sure they care [Applause] the way unless the second week in a row and that is caught by Anquan Boldin who steps out about his 16 seconds the foundation cool they like sort of old-style Pittsburgh Steelers football as well but you know for Ryan Clark that's one of those sometimes you lose the battle and win the war is a receiver you start taking these kinds of shots down the middle venomoth think about it phase that trying to get 1015 to make it make them inform and over the Middle East still have a time now and then the bloggers news put recaptured by golden at the 30-yard line Bolden is their clock is running down and Baltimore will take its final timeout let's say you what they almost let it run all the way out with two seconds and this is going to set up about a 49-yard field goal attempts this was bizarre did he ever really have control that football I wouldn't be surprised if they take a look at that one I think he recaptured it at the end and again there are no coach's challenges in the last two minutes check it out upstairs and they can fall for Coleman to come over and take a look at it official review Bolden indicating hey you know I got it I got it back yeah I would say probably did there he did never never really control so he's going to have to make this catch clean and it's worth a look I'll say that he's gonna if this ball hits the ground different make the case that that is not a catch at no point does he control it so now he has to not allow that to hit the ground it sort of rolls out the outside of his arm well let that angle is the is the most interesting and I think that's a definitive yep because he can touch the ground but if the ground helps you control the ball through the catch then that would be incomplete so if it's if the ruling stands will attempt to 49 yard field goal if he doesn't they'll either do a kneel down or a Hail Mary and what hurt there was they assume they were in field goal range and they had the catch so if it gets overturned they've already run all the time off the clock and would be reduced to kind of a Hail Mary situation I'm gonna we're gonna originally originally we thought he had recaptured it but the ground helps him control the ball and if that is the case if that's the way calman season to see [Applause] good job by height tailor getting in there and fighting his way through I don't think there's any question a tourism [Applause] but who knows horse heads they say we've been wrong before big down picks oh I don't think so i think that's incomplete what a first half this is though you know it's just classic you can almost just predict what's going to happen but the one thing is neither one of these offenses has made the big mistake that so often turns these games around if they reverse this the other thing is going to happen going to put a few seconds back on the clock so the Ravens [Music] I guess it some like thought it was six seven seconds I'm guessing so they could still run a play and trying to get out of bounds we'll see and they still have needed to play the recent receiver never had possession in the ball the ball hit the ground [Applause] please reset the clock 11 seconds Baltimore will get their time out back so boiler one has the timeout 9 10 11 second so you still have a chance to run a play you know 15 yards or so and then set Cundiff up for a half ending field goal attempt 11 seconds plenty of time with that timeout do you work the middle of the field remember kind of has missed his last seven whew boy not that he doesn't have the leg strength he certainly does we see that but along the street for 32 straight from inside 40 so from the 42 yard line and the students came across the line but where they in pieces the question will start number 66 York Italy still secondary that is the answer that's been Grubbs I can't answer the question of how hard it must be to not flinch when you've seen as the Steelers linebackers coming at you sort of simulating this those offensive line and that's without farrier and Woodley in the game - can you see that 92 in the second and 15 [Applause] place the swamp Rose that's rice and rice they take the ball through the 33 and they'll take a timeout here 33 yard line with 4 seconds you bring Cundiff in for what will be a 50 or 51 yard field goal attempt so Cundiff hasn't made seven straight now from 50 or more said his range is 53 and of course in highest field it's probably the worst place in the league to kick a field goal through the years but tonight a near-perfect night when shouldn't be a factory and the news is I'm sorry out that typically going in this direction it's easier the open into the stadium is on the other way which creates so many more issues than this ten years in the stadium both I'm Jeffrey [Applause] using 51-yard and this one is good so Cundiff has one street end and then begins a new one here after seven straight of fifty or more missing banks one through the gun then they get nine six Baltimore at the head go ahead ahead time show coming right up [Music] the and a riceball generation but there's a flag that it doesn't get it Santa's going to get saved at the 12-yard second half beginning Baltimore leading Pittsburgh nine to six you can follow your favorite /and f L now Michaels Cris Collinsworth Michele Tafoya sees that the halfway mark week 9 of 17 and let's go to Michelle I just spoke with Mike Tomlin he said he is not at all displeased with the way his offense is moving the ball he said just when we get to the red area we can't settle for field goals we've got to score touchdowns speaking of film those I spoke with John Harbaugh that big early decision to kick the field goal on 4th and goal rather than go for it he said was too full he wanted to get points on the board he said one's heard of premium he also didn't want to get shut out on that drive and let the crowd into this game early but here in the second half he said we're gonna put points on the board we're gonna work their corners Thank You Michelle a lot to chew on as we start the third quarter so no touchdowns in the game three field goals the foot of that man - by Sweden 96 that is getting ready to run the kickoff back [Applause] [Music] where theories at the time well is gonna be a touchback in Lisbon we touch back these Redman sister brown wool AFC North standing right now up-to-the-minute Cincinnati a winner today at Tennessee six and two at the halfway mark Pittsburgh six and two they'll either be seven and two six and three after this game Baltimore would go to six and two obviously with a win Cleveland in last place at three and five so if Baltimore wins this game you're gonna get three of the four teams at the halfway mark of the season with six wins and I think coming into this game it was for the top five defenses in the NFL all out of that AFC North now the students start this Drive from the 20 Roethlisberger 7 of 15 115 yards and from Mendenhall this is Carey number 6 for a total of 10 yards now well for me one of the stories of the first half has been drill sucks it just really has not been much of a factor and let's give some credit to Mack starts doing a good job as he had helped absolutely he said Beck's tipping over there tight in staying in and help but it sucks has been a game wrecker over the years with the Pittsburgh Steelers and so far not so much brought she's overweight left camp got back into shape and we signed them in that momentum works his way to a spot about a yard short of the first down strong men around for a while third round pick until Florida Florida and he's huge six eight and uh nobody weighs right now Chris about three forty three forty five but he'd gotten to the point where he was out of shape and overweight and then worked very hard to get back and Vince if we gotta get him back got silent denial that left side of the line ben roethlisberger who is really the biggest proponent of mac starts on the outside he they cut him before the season even started in camp and all of a sudden he was gone ben says you know max has lost 30 pounds and Tomlin said call me when he's lost 40 ultimately he did they got his job back and it was really right on time with all the injuries that they had exact position so there's going no-huddle making sure the raven defense can change up shed been going no-huddle but not hurry up single coverage and that's tipped at the line of scrimmage it's Terrence Cody over 62 now we're really seeing know maybe a little more brave coverage out of the Ravens than what I've seen in the past it's like they've got a newfound faith in these quarterbacks on the outside of course at be a great at covering up as well but a lot of just single coverage and at some point you've got to think that they're gonna take a shot with Mike Wallace who's one of the best big play receivers in the game they've held him in check tonight Wallace hasn't caught a ball I think he's only been targeted one time second down before never Horace's me stop by commenters now say it Mak starts if the Steelers were to come back and win this game he would have to be one of the candidates for MVP so far no help on that one on sucks and you're gonna give Ben Roethlisberger that much time he's going to find somebody [Applause] so let's have a huddle on his drive Redmond is running back [Applause] spinning around [Music] no doubt about it Ben Roethlisberger wanted to take a shot at Mike Wallace the top of the spring the Darius Webb was there so he pulls it down as Ben can do and here starts working and the protection again and then it was this that extra time that allowed Roethlisberger ultimately to make [Applause] Walter 33 hands it off to Redmond around the left side we've been watching la flesche burger do this for years and if there's a moment in time in his career and so many great plays some of the big plays but nothing bigger than the Santonio Holmes catch in the waning seconds of the Super Bowl to be down Arizona after the OAH season and you think about it that was heaps Holmes was Ben's fourth option on that play [Applause] spectacular catch - in the sugar game the other thing is when Ben gets in the no-huddle he's calling his own plays at this point Rainey is matching which with just been at this one second and six the outside in this Wallace he makes his first action now he and where we're gonna have a little debate at six trying to hurry up here but you're going to end up with Wallace on the out with no health you don't get one of the Ravens safeties over the top you see how much of a cushion they have to give Mike Wallace and Ben to work the underneath coverages to Wallace for that reason pensive an eye for the guy who leads the team in receptions and that his sons so such a great job being done on Suggs demanding that all of a sudden there's great drive you going no-huddle you're not allowing the Ravens to change that defense and then out and the flat is Suggs with the interception just so many game changing plays in this series my son and it got it again later terrell suggs who just made that play to stuff that pittsburgh drive as the Steelers had wore down the field intercepts the pass and at Suncoast arsenic around you're bugging out to the 32 yard line and back to go to the pic you know it's just hard to understand what Roethlisberger really saw on this play here Suggs and they're going to release heeds Miller out here but Roethlisberger really I don't know if he was trying to disguise it or what was just looking to his left almost throughout and never really checked that side I'm sure he didn't want to try and tip at all but with suds in the position that he was in I just had to assume you're in a bit of danger on that yep overtime here at that guy but if you close up second in seven by Smith the sergeant's a budding filmmaker he always knows where the camera is that would be a tough director to work for refuge Sheryl NEP puppies never ran they don't take 47 no crime no even for you you might even get you to do something [Applause] number 34 not the gun one more time and that's enough for the first man with forward progress to dennis pitta the tight end that to the 40 moves the change one of the things about altering the snap count is you get to see some of this movement in here it gives us offensive line and a chance to sort of filter through both of these teams probably the toughest part about playing these defenses is understanding who the offensive linemen are supposed to block and who the Badgers possible the lights underneath then race out to the 46 yard line lay rice try my sean mccoy last week a guy who now needs to be thought of as one of the very best in the league and you know rice is pretty much in that category to leading rusher just one catch away from being the leading receiver coming into this game I talked to Dick LeBeau the great defensive coordinator and he said let me tell you something our game plan begin this guy right here [Applause] stop them on the ground [Applause] during period second on the outside as fifties take it down right there by William Gay a lot of balls being thrown to Smith because I Taylor's doing such a good job the other side hole [Music] last week the Steelers have to offer he was something too born on the outside and close to a first down that's Pitta again and see where they spot the ball gonna spotted at the 49 of Pittsburgh and that is a first down one of the really difficult parts of this bunch formation is how do you play man coverage back here you know everybody's going to criss cross and so it gives you just enough space to run your route in those short third and four kind of plays and pick up the first down which we do in that situation the Heisman Trophy winner going off the head of Marshall Yan to the guard being a one second down and nine now we're starting to get everything going now aren't we were getting Vontae leach the full-back this is sort of old-fashioned Marshall yonder getting his hat knocked off and you know we talked about this a little bit in the open [Applause] these teams even care what the scoreboard says it's more a battle of who went to at the end of the day knowing they know who's winning the physical fight for years second down and nine and diving for it and making the grab is it Dixon Dixon bit of the two tight ends talking earlier about the fact that Flacco throws to his running backs and wide bend and Tynan 62% of the time let's see did he make this catch well he gets the arm underneath it then the ball again the ball starts to roll [Applause] challenged over that when he still have a third exactly exactly 33 little risky here this night on a play like that Tomlin gets the word from up high that you have a good chance to win this which we think he does because again the ground helps him control the flip burgers challenging the ruling on the field of a completed case similar to that last call we saw at the end of the first half where the ground helps him control the football Topol a lot of success on challenges this is this is very close again Coleman is going to look at this does the ground help him control the football not on the initial hit but I think this one right there is the question controlled all the way through the catch I think he has it there has it but that was and doubt the question is did it come lose it can hit the ground but if it is perceived to have come loose that's a different story after revealing the play really on the field stands this present return in the first time we're out of showings yeah I tell you and you know that timeout in a game like this comes back to haunt I can remember Bill Parcells talking about don't you guys waste one of my timeouts especially in the second half so we'll see yeah I can't blink toppled for that though I think there was enough there and overturned and it would have made a third nines in his third day at 30 [Applause] minutes of the game they float sit to rice then rice makes the caption goes out of bounds you had Kiesel backing up covering and he fell down and a first down for the Ravens yeah tough assignment right here they're going to end up with rice coming out here akiza's going to try and go with him because they bring the slot blitz great job by Joe Flacco and recognition took advantage of the exotic blitz and Brett Keisel going out and coverage that one's not going to happen if you can execute [Applause] get rice in the full-back mine's a little bit of room through the middle to the 27-yard line a gain of for setting up second down and six now the Ravens starting to get a little something going with their running game we talked about it before but this is a team and this is a physical type of game that typically you don't see great ones in the first half but as the defense begins to wear down remember the Steelers fairly pin on the defensive side these ones may start working better what foolish man got her going youth in the passion Justice Bolden was giving a little push off himself grab hold of Bolden and Ike Taylor doesn't like it at all but I saw it [Applause] pants an affair around the 24 helping the Ravens let's see just this bone gave him a little nudge off grabs a shirt grabs the worst yeah he did I think sometimes these two teams would like to play without officials cage minute first of all they spotted before there's a 23 yard penalty first the goal [Applause] Ravens looking for the first side of the game maybe out of the end zone second ago got a mock cheer hearing but it was cold why for the seven of eight on his drive well they've been trying these play-action passes at potato these two teams you take such great pride in their physical play it's amazing when they get the ball inside the 5-yard line that's been a pass almost every and you just can't run the football on these two teams and basically these [Applause] struggling rice and rice took the hit for the touchdown in behind the fullback birthday leaves and leads from houston to provide that leverage to provide the convoy and Ray Rice able to follow into the intro Timmons read it perfectly just shot the gap but Vontae leach the full-back picks them off and Ray Rice with a brilliant little jump cut to get out of the hole 30 foot may have overrun that one just a bit in this crowd not with that penalty on it-- Taylor Billy Cundiff the game's first puts the the Ravens who with 427 remaining now in the third quarter thanks to such that dick ending Pittsburgh's Drive and off sixteen six Raiders Sunday night football for Pittsburgh being brought to you by ASAP the best run better with SAV buy Olive Garden when they're near your family by Nissan innovation for today innovation for tomorrow innovation for all and by uncharted 3 drake's Deception only on PlayStation friday-night Mount Lebanon defeating Woodland Hills by 7 first round Pennsylvania high school playoffs it's a Jason Taylor's home among Steve Breaston former Arizona receiver now a Kansas City Rob Gronkowski will Woodland Hills and the Cundiff bangs this one through the end zone and so walk less Berg will go to work from the 20-yard line with the Steelers down by him off to the Meadowlands we go next Sunday night said that I football the Patriots of the Jets now lock in the AFC East football night started seven o'clock Eastern ferment Life Stadium Tom Brady today as the Giants came from behind and knocked away 24:20 in the filler and the jets got things rolling at Buffalo good defense in particular 27 to 11 so that's the game that's Jets a week from tonight Pittsburgh starts from the 20 Mendenhall gets hit the backfield and then spins away and is close to a first down much that will be Suggs tackle and it will be war pullman lines it up first down Suggs with the game-changer to this point misses that tackle in the backfield he didn't miss that interception and that's really the difference in this game if they just get a field goal out of that last Drive it's 9 9 and it's just business as usual between these two teams she'll just go heavy again a big hole for men the flag here followed by eight yard gain but it's coming back holding on to 78 often 10-yard penalty still first down that starts the left tackle well it starts out there slugging away and now get in one of those situations I guess format starts he's shaking his head and I've got to say I was watching that area of the field didn't see a lot maybe I missed it yeah we saw Tomlin's reaction he looked at the replay up on the on the big screen he had that term where he actually said why first in 20 from the 20-yard line [Applause] and now it's going to be first down to 25 full start number 17 offense five-yard penalty here first and Wallace well they're going backwards right now in this Drive let's take a look it starts right there on the end of it no he's down he hooks McLean's arm but not really a grab animal that almost like he was sort of it accidentally was missing him a very close call tough call in a situation like that first enha 45 mandala passport 22 yard line Mike Wallace making the cash all right web and make it second down and it's called 17 one of the problems with getting behind this Ravens defense is they can be a little bit more conservative now you can see the coverage back here so now the threat of a Mike Wallace going by you is much less because of the fact those safeties are able to play a step or two deeper so now they're gonna force you to sort of go the hard way here they've been playing that really since they took the lead second down and go 17 for the 23 ounce in one incomplete third down at ten to four Antonio Brown Antonio Brown slipped on the play and you talked about it earlier this field was eaten up they will completely rethought it a little bit later after I think the state high school playoffs but sometimes coming in and out of these cuts you would think the Steelers would have the advantage on this field but there are some pretty thin spots out there a lot of issues in regard to this point surface over here third down and 17 [Applause] what's coming and waffles burgers steps away and then throws 43-yard by Brown that is simply remorse and the Steelers the Steelers are going to race up to the line they don't want a challenge here what dejection tremendous egg catch [Applause] and want this burger do something ashlag stuff get away from the pressure so not a problem and then in the half to go in the period that was a third and 17 the first half in the 44 and office burger and Ephraim Miller at Lewis and Williams if the coverage second and ten you know typically Edie read sort of picks aside and will lean to one side of the field or another but Edie is right back here in the middle of the field which puts tremendous pressure on the corners on the outside there has been sort of a renewed confidence if you will in these two corners and plus they're just now getting Jimmy Smith their number one draft pick into the mix so when these corners can play like that allows the Ravens to do a lot more with games inside we have Ben Williams second down and ten Lewis blitzes and they pick him up breaks away from them when we told you Rashard Mendenhall what time it is collarbone the single coverage but our Pollard certainly not the best of the cover guys in the second big hitter that when they can get that match up with a little time gonna win through the 26 yellow line first name [Applause] empty back here within [Applause] they get 230 yards Glaucus burgers step it up Miller blanket takes it to the 50-yard [Applause] Ben Roethlisberger's thread of the run watch Ray Lewis here react to that drop coverage and that allowed me pillar to pick up that first down waning seconds of the quarter and then it's the snack-off take the ball to the 9 yard line and that will take us to the 4th quarter so another good Steeler drive two of them here in the third quarter Baltimore is 16 Pittsburgh six after three Sunday Night Football to the fourth quarter we go al michaels Chris Collinsworth Michele Tafoya Pittsburgh Baltimore on top five ten second down and five for the Steelers at the ravenous lawless slipped wide to the left Mendenhall the wedding gown fake the Mendenhall off the play fake Roethlisberger is all away hot tree in the back of the endzone while the struggle looks for a flag on pass interference doesn't get a third down tell you one of the untold stories of this game has been the coverage of these corner backs and the job they're doing it's not that the play-action is not working linebackers are stepping up but there just hasn't been anybody open in the back of the end zone that time with Darius Webb just push Khatri out of the back of the end zone wouldn't have been eligible to make that catch anyway third and five [Applause] Louis calls the defense block this burger trouble stepping away first down and it loses the ball but when did he lose it they rule it a touchdown the ball they said he crossed the goal line were through stairs as a whole storing place for the moment Pittsburgh in the end zone [Applause] goal-line it's or was contact oh yes right we're deep down well not in yeah and in this game some games you say Oh big deal y-yeah time to review going to be just short just shortened as they take a look [Music] official review of scoring play we think the ball is going to come out just outside the goal London ronsis burgers knee was down watch this his his knee will go down he's contacted there's contacted his read flies by I am bday show comes in and then right there that is the end of the play so he only fumbled at the end he had already been contacted his knee was down the ball will come out to about the you know six-inch line and that'll be the end result of this misread of our minds but the blade runner's right knee was down with the ball at the half yard line when they first and goal the half yard line and Baltimore was unable to score a touchdown from this same situation and see how the Pittsburgh Steelers play it Pittsburgh Steelers fans sometimes bit uncomfortable at the fact that they are not always a power football team I would be stunned if they don't play power football for three and probably four downs at this point Freyja six comes in as an extra tight end this is Pittsburgh's six possession tonight for tiny been in the red zone but they get to get into the end zone it's not to make it a three-point game [Applause] David Johnson as the fallback [Applause] he goes to the touchdown [Applause] the suspect at this time they take it all the way in you basically have to guess on the goal line inside great call here by Bruce Arians the offensive coordinator anticipating that really no way they could have stopped the ball with that hard slant on 80 yards 11 plays they got six first downs on that drive and squeezy in The Naked 16 to 13 Ravens up by 32 will have to go in Pittsburgh beginning Wednesday the Australian Open golf tournament why channel Tiger Woods is entered and that the Presidents Cup woods part of that team beginning the 16th of November on the Golf Channel and NBC [Music] Freeza [Music] sends it into the end zone David Reath welcome back James Harrison one of the more dominant players in the NFL you can see the incredible torque and angles that he creates as he tries to come around the edge not a tall guy anyway and for some of these offensive tackles six seven six eight an issue but maybe more of an issue is his rush inside when they get in those Nichols situations when he gets a chance to go one-on-one against the back or in this case a tight especially with carry around mr. Koontz corners [Applause] the courtyard [Applause] [Applause] because of the blanket the goal this time they try and use two backs to block James Harrison the mission ultimate failures to I had nowhere to go with the ball down the field with big time player [Applause] takes care of rice third and long coming up at some play by Larry Foote right there who's had to take over the play calling on the defensive side took on Vontae leach the lead fullback here and still able to get off on tail each one of the best blocking fullback that there is [Applause] we got to go on in Pittsburgh please let me [Applause] and put me back on the field very shortly Brow's at its core Torrey Smith contact made his Flacco gun the way James Harrison came in came close to getting the sack instead it's a first down for the Ravens a big one yeah a little pick play working out here backhand cross and then back under tough play for Cortese out in the Wookiee to try and come up with a play there the whole key though was Flacco had to hold this ball barely able to get [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they take the rice and then it goes to lead the 39-yard loner oh my gosh it is they are getting it going right now I think that was Ryan Clark who came up on about a 260 pound pullback Clark the leading tackler on this team and just a violent hitter he saw it would have been up an earlier just listen Wario had an excavation boy that was it Ricky Williams second and five picks up the first man Ricky Williams after a 40-yard line tackle there by Stevenson Sylvester Lewis can't tell by that expression but he loves that yeah this is intensity time Marshall yond at that time who I think is the best of these offensive lineman forward the Baltimore Ravens got out with the lead block and this guy was cutting Casey Hampton but he's more than that he's a pro ball player the more you watch him the more you know best of what they have here [Applause] Williams again rookie over the 50 into Steeler territory gain of three second down and seven under 11 minutes now in regulation you know how you get so used to watching a style of defense over the years and Dick LeBeau x'd offense has always brought so much pressure and attacks you in so many different ways turnovers just come for this defense and yet this season it's just remarkable they just have not been able to create any and usually this game monitor no as it did last year when Paul Amato made the play of the game on a three rush games lights to the 47 now every third down becomes a big one so you got a big third down and five coming with a very traditional blitz that time against Joe Flacco who's really done a heck of a job on third downs and I two teams talked about the [Applause] flacco credit [Applause] blaka when he sends rice into the swamp pass over the middle is taught by holding that supports down golden gets positioned at times on Taylor and again another third down conversion and Qureshi talked about it they talked about third down how important is it's 12 and a 16 for the Ravens which is tremendous yeah and the steelers got confused on that one Lawrence Timmons went with the motion to guys cover the motion here this way the boy underneath to the other side his Flacco song took advantage of Flacco looks very calm tonight doesn't very much under control back to the ground we go to a race for the 36 yard line true enough so the clock as well a five and a half minute drive at this point started back at their own 20-yard line and the next play will be the 10th [Applause] second down eight defenses we mentioned they were jeopardy offended back under the feet after a three and up and said that big only third on keyword drive to the six-minute walk on this glide second and eight gets bumped at the line of spillage and stop there for a minimal game my Timmins threw down another coming up say what Larry Foote is doing some back side one threes anticipating what's happening here and these this is what great linebackers will do they will see the play [Applause] [Applause] we were shoes to the left back into it depression losses before [Applause] for that driver is wrong on the sack fumble always a good guess [Applause] get you [Applause] J recovers in Harrison gets the sack that's his third of the night they play by William but Joe Flacco had to pull the ball down William Gay jumped the route underneath to his side and made Flacco hesitate Bears game watch him on the outside against Torrey Smith jumped that round and that's what made Flacco pull the ball down and create the turnover and give people a little credit forcing Flacco to step to his right now walk us through this step it away at the 22 [Music] [Applause] when the Pittsburgh Steelers they are going to be set for a long time Antonio Brown Mike Wallace this kids a special team play he turns punch returns kickoffs and on the outside Mike Wallace completely barbecues Kerry Williams but does not get the ball in that instance so it isn't that the whole second half from the 43 are though with seven minutes to go Mendenhall nothing [Applause] the Steelers really have no choice against the coverage the Ravens are showing them they've got all these guys back here so you only have seven up here you have to be able to run the football against that but you can't against Ray Lewis and company and that really has been a significant part of this game can play cautiously in the secondary and still stop the run [Applause] second down and ten [Applause] passes away you wanna may have attempt no question about it Jared Johnson came completely free right here tip the ball for the Pittsburgh Steelers that falls right into the arms of Jericho Khatri when this traffic is still alive or this is some game this is some serious control these things [Applause] five is a 25-yard line is five and a half ago the Raven who's been here [Applause] Brendon I am bidet Joe [Applause] and the crowd thinks that this may be intentional to try and slow down there's no huddle offense who knows [Applause] tonight's aerial coverage from Pittsburgh being brought to you by Geico [Music] downtown Pittsburgh PA holdin on Pittsburgh figured to be a great one - three-point game got the field into his own power second down and five now for the students so I finally find getting breath all what a shot he takes and they say no completion incomplete MacLean there it out there is going to be nobody volunteering for these crossing routes anytime soon this time Jamil MacLean is going to polish this one off earlier it was Ray Lewis knocking Hines Ward out of the game I'd say what this is not for the faint of heart out here Webb ripped it out as he went to the ground five [Applause] he goes to the slide [Applause] breaking away the [Applause] in fact I think he sees Brown right there from [Applause] you see Antonio Brown shuffling back coming back to the football except that most surprised of aweful probably was ben roethlisberger and as he's done so brilliantly sui's them for the point after and for the first time tonight took from 55 minutes in one second 22:16 [Applause] [Music] pittsburg up for the first time in the game since it good one back like we go to the touchdown Raven Stephenson coordinator Chuck Pagano said for our secondary coverage starts at three seconds because Venice you have to stay on yeah unfortunately too long for Kerry Williams we keep up with this playing in the street isn't it [Applause] race second down Brett Keisel basically just tackled Ray Rice coming out of the backfield they're not going to let Rice beat them in this situation coming out right here watch Brett Keisel come off and not let him go he's going to tackle I'm coming out [Applause] get out of the slot to the left [Applause] getting here again just is looking like Superman out there the time off has done him good the heck but trying to run through the blocker he's going to jump over the blocker you don't think joe flacco sees that number 92 [Applause] take over [Applause] I'm not going to play the role of a fire [Applause] over very it's just a big play by Ryan joe flacco that time looked like Ben Roethlisberger extra time and usually when that happens you end up with a big play down the field but kid it did not come back to the ball and it cost them Sam Cooke to do the puppet Brown is back when the 33 to the ground at the 46-yard line with 4:30 left Sunday Night Football be brought to you by the Droid Razr then is no longer free only at Horizon by BMW the ultimate driving machine by Wendy's Asiago Ranch chicken [Applause] at work terrible should be good again tonight James Harrison is given Flacco and the Ravens offense will work out tonight three sacks for him after missing a month Ray Lewis now and that defense at the stiffened these Pittsburgh can start thinking about the clock here Baltimore has all of its timeouts from the 46 then I go to the air understand it's dropped by Johnson second down that hurts yeah it helps blow along two levels in the housing the drop patch and it stops the clock every second you know when you throw the ball in that situation on first down you take that high percentage throw because you do not want the incomplete pass and those drops where they are painful and Ravens here with all three timeouts so plenty of time but they're enjoying looking at that clock stuck on 420 for the three time ice plus the two-minute warning so for stoppages in front of us second down and ten from the 36 47 yard line Natha makes the tackle it'll make it third and nine and here it comes because when you end up in a third nine with this defense you can get anything the big guys go out the pass rushers come in and now Ben Roethlisberger can't make one of those mistakes Brown left Wallace to the right country slot right third nine and that spread look defensively [Music] [Applause] you go action club that's Cory reading coming across the line boy oh boy what a great job by Roethlisberger [Applause] third and four now watch a it's tough to get a veteran in that situation but he got Cory riding with this pounce he can laugh because he's fine and they picked up five big yards completely different play call situation now or instead a third nine [Applause] [Applause] Oh for quite touching [Applause] absolutely an Alec James an exotic blitz on the floor now because of this they've got to go golf and run across the board and a pretty easy pitch and catch that offsides call was huge you really got his picky managed to move everybody with that pump fake comes back side I walk into Pittsburgh Jericho country and then hood lead the play clock and forced Baltimore to use its timeouts on the front side of the two-minute warning and they're almost in field goal range 134 ineffective runner and stack them up for a loss of a couple 12 but the charge that time with the clock ticking down and now it's stopped by a Baltimore timeout with 12:47 second timeout new series on NBC it's Friday nights number one show it's gold with rhythm oh yeah you see this Friday at 10:00 Eastern at Pacific at night right say the Ravens for all the talk of their great defense they blew a big Li 21-7 I believe at the half in the playoff game last year and they had a comfortable margin in this one and just unable to finish it off at least to this point so if Pittsburgh holds on they will have split the season series so that won't be a tie-break factor at the end of the day Pittsburgh would go to seven and two in Baltimore we go to five and three and that would be a game and a half lead three straight games with 300 or more passing judgment what's different about that number in the past couple of years is quarterbacks who sleep normally lose when they feed it here in the large music playing catch-up now they normally win as he did last week and as he did the week before and as he's doing tonight second and 13 [Applause] that's another liter Redman a lot of making the sack of the 31-yard line we'll take another timeout it'll be third down and six 237 best analysis about the NFL the players of Mike Florio a Pro Football Talk NBC sports.com this November joined the NFL salute the service campaign to honor our nation's veterans and active servicemen and women learn more nfl.com slash salute this time they tried that sprint out to the right side again and then Brown going all the way across the field the Ravens were there though and been not wanting to take a chance just checked it down and here we go again I can't imagine not kicking the field goal in this situation so pretty much with the timeouts the way that they are this is the ball game well if you don't get a yard here you've been looking at a 47-yard field goal in a place where it's tough to kick a 47-yard field goal inside and if you missed it the Ravens will get the ball at about the 37 first things first here's the play [Applause] 31 basically the responsibility the offensive line [Applause] incomplete and that time more turned around late and that's the perfect situation to occur without a yard being gained with a clock stopped so they have saved their time out plus they get one of the two-minute warning with two thirty four and four thousand five nice wheeze him and his group are coming in you know anything really is possible here because you know we've seen plays where you snap it to the field goal kicker and he punts it down the field you've got your great defense a long field goal the Ravens going to get some great field position to be misses and this is top this way and the Capitals just signed so he takes the pole his job is not only the hunter but behavior [Applause] [Music] like the malfunctioning play clock way the game often five-yard penalty feel for back no not really I mean finished malfunctioning offense all that is big now Thank You chef now you punt the foot sir yeah I mean otherwise as I say a 47-yard and the open end of the stadium at Heinz Field no sure thing and the 52 yard or even worse so now they'll punt as Kappa nose will try to pin them deep for the just we sign capital those down yard line was Stan's caught by wedge so 225 one time out the two-minute warning and they need a touchdown not a field goal 22:16 is Flacco leads his group out where Flacco's won a lot of playoff games over the years where it has not happened it's against these guys speak all the tiebreakers but then going the Ravens favor but this is a law rode against one great defense [Music] [Applause] for me [Applause] it's the number two defense in the league and Flacco escapes and then slings it out about so the second and ten one more time the standings in this division where the Cincinnati Bengals shocking everyone six out of eight Pittsburgh with a win would go to seven and two they haven't had their bye week yet Baltimore's having spot a week to get rid of five and crew [Applause] three straight years he played seven playoff games every over the middle that's coy and then he's brought by Antoine Bolden and the veteran takes the ball out to the 30-yard line that will take us to the two-minute warning first alley spotted at the 29 yard line so this one they go right down to the end we're back to the southern end of what we knew and loved in September 20 to 60 when these postgame report coming out Michelle in an interview from the field Bob Tony today and Kristen I'm thinking look ahead to the Patriots and the Jets except away [Applause] 71 yards [Applause] Rocco protected past fought in bounds at the 43 yard line and staying in is the quad Williams who the clock keeps on rolling and that's a first down all of the 42 yard line [Applause] - hi Polamalu in the neighborhood stopping the clock with 90 seconds second down 10 Roethlisberger has done his work [Applause] for Ebola Malo here what's the break on the foot [Applause] this where you think he's going to end up as check the new tenant the pocket and that's paw at the 50-yard line that is going across 250 setting up a third down and one from the 49 the clock keeps on rolling 13 and 12 thirteen knockdown so it comes that with this play to try to keep the Ravens alive foot knocking it down fourth and 166 Denslow [Applause] sixty-five thousand [Applause] is aiming to keep it alive was blown to makes the catch that position I'm gay he makes the tackle that bald we spotted at the 39 yard line by moving and Quan holding into the slot okay now instead of now he goes the for a very short game by ed Nixon and the clock stops with 42 seconds [Applause] he says and says this is what it's supposed to be this is fun this is Baltimore this is Pittsburgh this is first place on the line this is the whole deal secondly 37 [Applause] Braco under pressure stepping up again going deep fingertips of Torrey Smith he got Lehi the speedy Smith was there off his fingertips third down SOI Polamalu was in pursue to the other side of the field one on one coverage gotta make a play got to make that play that's a championship moment right there not a simple catch but a catch that has to be made for Polamalu right here is going to sprint the double coverage on help whatsoever [Applause] just missed that is thought and that is pulled in again Boldin having another huge game last week Hughes the star against Arizona Bolden tonight is caught seven putting a couple of very clutch catches on this drive 28 seconds left just a good move in here and now they've got Ike Taylor in there on Bolton but Bolden breaks away and Pittsburgh that takes a timeout [Music] you know Torrey Smith that drop on top of that holding call on the opening play where Ray Rice took at the distance a lot to think about remember early in camp Torrey Smith was so down on himself all the drops he had in camp basically some of the players had to sit him down and go listen man you're okay and build his confidence here's the very first play of the game the hold right there cost an opening play touchdown unless gate would have made the tackle and he was in position to do that but you know what we were talking about early on carboy its decision to kick a field goal from inside the one-yard line earlier so they go for the touchdown and that's come out at this point first down [Music] [Applause] and 26 yards away [Applause] the pass is incomplete that's on intended for David weed who runs back kicks their son he's been targeted tonight ain't over the coverage second down now Ike Taylor like any veteran corner is going to take an angle here and cut off the receiver Reed and basically just beat him to the point we see real Revis do that all the time [Applause] single coverage taking his shots [Applause] the slot to the right outside of the way [Applause] the pocket throws can't make the catch at the 11-yard line he was there and dropped it at the 11:00 and they're gonna stop the clock with a timeout and said its third down in ten was 16 second receivers just not making the play here he is he gets to go against gay again makes a nice move and suddenly drops the football great job on this Drive his receivers are completely letting him down [Applause] against lot rights with wide [Applause] so again protected away or he goes in it's pork and there's a flag down with the face of interference that they'll hold up and with eight seconds left the Ravens will conclude a 92 yard drive with a touchdown pass interference 22 new fans vol a placed in the spot of the foul first down well you can't write this script Smith drops one bold and drops one and then the rookie comes back and makes his first touchdown catch since he caught three in one quarter at st. Louis in Week three and you just have to wonder what riot or if it's delay on the play I mean he basically has the deep responsibility here to get over the top a little nudge off there on the part of Torrey Smith but that's a play that you have to have your safety Ryan Clark get there he's not very fast a very physical safety he just undercut that one a little too much in a costume and for Joe Flacco that was sensational well Flacco played the best game of his career in the minds of almost everybody an opening day and then that drive that drive was gigantic in so many ways because this will give them a sweep of the sir easy to give the tiebreak if they wind up with the same record as pittsburgh and we're not forgetting the best Cincinnati but just these two teams and where they've come from every game they've played in the last few years a memorable one there we go here's Ryan Clark he's going to have to defend that when he has half the field you have to get deeper than the deepest in this situation he was a little short probably looking for Bouldin on that crossing route there's that little nudge I'm sure we'll be talked about by Torrey Smith looks like a veteran player got away with it and it was huge [Applause] remember another guy's Santonio Holmes who missed one in the key situation and came back to made a big catch in the Super Bowl speaking of 92 yard drive that was a 92 yard drive by Roethlisberger in the Super Bowl and then Ray Lewis Ray Lewis and Ed Reed basically sat that young man down when he kept dropping so many balls in training camp and said listen you have to get over this you have to not worry about making mistakes and start making plays and boy did he come up in a monster way there Joe Flacco said the Torrey Smith is finally the deep threat that we have not had that I have not had since I've been here tremendous [Music] Ravens head to Seattle next week then the Bengals they'e call the Baltimore and then four nights after that on Thanksgiving night it's parfois versus Harbaugh where the 49ers coming in to take on the Ravens oh eight seconds left I have a chance here got a 20 yard line got eight seconds and you have a timeout right well yeah but what is it for this one do you aren't lying good luck well I'm just saying you end up throwing one down there get out of bounds quickly and who knows take a shot at a long field goal you have to get it down the field what 40 yards you've been watching the NFL to shoot look I'm fifty nuts I'm up or Nothing bash this but I'm giving you about five hundred to one on that right okay not a 450 Ravens with guys all the way back it's the Ravens were to cover six they've even got Luis about 20 yards downfield timeout Baltimore Ravens will take second timeout a timeout here just to make sure they're either the cover six or recover seven the other thing you have to be exceptionally careful of here is no pass interference down the field because then you can get an untimed down right then you're talking about something different this drive will be talked about for a long long we had a chance earlier beat the Steelers best corner comes right back [Music] extension of the arm got away with [Music] Louis if they finally turned the tide against the Steelers team rose on one hop with two seconds left now I'm giving you ten thousand to one alright let me get the stand for banned out it's about your only hope boy oh boy this is one that you end up with the Steelers defense out there on the field and having to defend 92 yards and they can't do it well you know coaches were always saying we got to get off the field on third down and a lot of different components going to the result of every game but tonight on third down the Ravens were 14 of 21 which is sensation including the winning touchdown Rory Redding jumped offsides and made him punt the football in that situation instead of the field goal barring a defensive foul on the ground and the Baltimore Ravens that have swept the season series go to 6 and 2 and there's Harbaugh John Harbaugh is them such a magnificent job in his fourth season and Mike Tomlin has seen the highs and the lows of course two Super Bowl appearances and the Baltimore Ravens come in and pull one off after having the lead for most of the game coughing it up and then winning it with eight seconds to go twenty three to twenty Baltimore coming right up the Wendy's postgame report then you'll see that after these messages we local NBC station
